The Myers Lab had great time presenting and attending the annual ASME Summer Biomechanics Conference in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico! Special congratulations to Daniella Fodera, who placed 2nd in the Reproductive Tissue Mechanics session of the PhD Student Paper Competition!
Additionally, Serena, Olivia, and Abby all had the opportunity to give podium presentations and Camilo had the opportunity to present at the future faculty poster session. Serena and Olivia presented in the Reproductive Mechanics session with Serena’s presentation highlighting her work studying the role of Relaxin in cervical remodeling and Olivia’s focused on her computational modeling of uterine mechanics in late pregnancy. Abby presented her work studying the biomechanical benefit of cervical cerclage during the Emerging Topics in Computational Biomechanics session. Camilo’s poster focused on his work developing a computational platform of shear wave elastography for cervical health assessment.
Other highlights of the conference included the Women’s Health and Engineering Panel, the group dinner with Ateshian, Vedula, and Tepole labs, and of course the BedRock concert!
